- Rated 1 out of 5by Fleet Command, 2 months agoIt's not working at the moment (3 March 2025, Firefox 135.0.1). The extension's GitHub repository was last updated 7 years ago, on 26 Dec 2018. Hence, it's safe to assume this extension will never work again.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13790003, 5 years agoI had been using an "outdated" version of Firefox simply because, as I think is the case for many others, some important-to-me add-ons were no longer supported in Quantum. CoLT was one of those add-ons. This add-on, however, has equaled CoLT for my purposes, and so now I've made a relatively comfortable move to the latest FF.
Thanks to both this author AND the author of CoLT, wherever you are. CoLT was, to me, one of the most useful add-ons; ya done good. :) - Rated 5 out of 5by DiverSant, 5 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Unvir, 5 years agoCould you add the positibility of replacing link text with link url/href? This would help copy with complete URL information.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Gess, 6 years agoI want to copy the selected text along with the links:
the selected text itself;
the name of the link;
URL link.
For example, here is a piece of text from a wikipedia article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-platform_software#Hardware_platforms
This is a simple copy of the text.
***
A hardware platform can refer to an instruction set architecture. For example: x86 architecture and its variants such as IA-32 and x86-64. These machines often run one version of Microsoft Windows,[5] though they can run other operating systems as well, including Linux, OpenBSD, NetBSD, macOS and FreeBSD.

And so I need:

How to do this in link-text-location-copier?
Thanks! - Rated 1 out of 5by sojusnik, 6 years agoThe development of this add-on has stopped, because the creator of this add-on has passed away, as it is stated in the creator's user profile.
For a good replacement, search for the "Format Link" add-on (by Hiroaki Nakamura). - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12891445, 6 years agoExcellent replacement for CoLT, nice improvement over Format Link. Question: Would it be possible to change the format of the timestamp (%L) with this add-on?

- Rated 5 out of 5by xeem, 6 years agothank you for this! i've been looking for a CoLT replacement that could copy a selection/title and link and paste it to visual TinyMCE (WordPress editor) with the proper mime type so it ends up as an HTML link - perfect!

- Rated 3 out of 5by Michael Kenward, 7 years agoNice. As others say, it takes over where COLT left off.
It negates my main reason for not updating Firefox.
I need to work out how to configure it in the same way. (Hence the ***.) But that is down to me rather than the app.Developer response
posted 7 years agoThanks for using the extension and the review. I have written some documentation, available at https://evilnickname.github.io/link-text-location-copier, but if you have any questions, feel free to contact me. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14026143, 7 years agoI use this addon to cite text from websites with the page URL. Unfortunately, "Context dependant custom format variables" stopped copying URL's for plain text, after a Firefox update.
I checked on the author's page for the addon: https://evilnickname.github.io/link-text-location-copier/
It offered "Context independant custom format variables" in a second table. I used those. Changing the "plain text" menu format works perfectly (even, at the moment, in Nightly):
%selection% — %N — %pagetitle% — %N — %pageurl%Developer response
posted 7 years agoHi, I recently found out there was a little bug for %U when used with selections. Version 1.7.2 should fix this problem.
